Welcome back for our 2nd part of our radiotherapy update on breast cancer.

We finish our discussion with Professor Mark Beresford who is Chair of the UK Breast Group.

We discuss the timing of radiotherapy around breast reconstruction.

We look at situations where we treat other areas such and above the collar bone (supraclavicular) or central area (internal mammary) areas.

We examine when radiotherapy may be offered after mastectomy.

We also look at when we may be able to avoid using radiotherapy after breast surgery in low risk cases.

Another must listen.
